And dave, you're wrong in terms of "...and in the case of Nikon/ Sigma/Tamron and many others, their warranty "isn't transferable" to you anyway...": the warranty of Nikon is for the product, it is not personalized to the seller. So all my buyers of my used gear got the rest time of the warranty. The only "non-transferrable" part was the registration of the items to their "My Nikon" account. But since there are no benefits from that... Nikon's idea of "attractive offers" is like 50 francs less than their official price which is still 100-150 more than the normal street price.

I've tried many times to find out the situation on Nikon's S/H warranty policy and all I've found is mixed answers, and I've tried just now again, it seems impossible to find a response "from Nikon" as to whether they cover an under warranty camera after having been sold on, I have never found anything on line but doubt,  from varying sources. At least they don't want to officially commit themselves! 

 

  I am very happy to be wrong here, as S/H, IMHO, should not invalidate a guarantee on a product.

 

 If you have something written officially from Nikon JoJu, about transferable warranties, please post a link on this thread, I'm sure it will interest many, there seems to be a general belief right or wrong about Nikon's stance on this point.
